Marketing for charities and non-profits

Awareness is only useful if it turns into donations. We run fundraising campaigns with donation tracking, so you can see exactly what each pound of marketing raised.

Fundraising campaigns, Donation tracking, Charity SEO

Awareness doesn't pay for anything. Donations do.

Charities pay up to £54 a click on appeal searches, so every pound has to be accounted for. We run fundraising campaigns with donation tracking from the first click to the gift, so trustees can see exactly what each pound of marketing raised.

  • Donation tracking from click to gift
  • Appeal campaigns planned around key dates
  • Google Ad Grants set up and managed if you're eligible
  • Monthly reports trustees can read

Why charity marketing is different

Every pound is scrutinised, and the cause has to do the persuading.

Accountability

Trustees and donors expect proof that marketing spend raised more than it cost.

Seasonal peaks

Ramadan, Christmas and emergencies drive giving. Timing matters.

Free ad budget

Eligible charities can get up to $10,000 a month of Google search ads through Ad Grants.

Trust is fragile

Clear registration, impact reporting and honest messaging protect the brand.

Who we work with in the charity sector

Appeals and long-term giving need different approaches.

Appeal-led charities

Emergency, seasonal and project appeals where timing and urgency drive giving.

  • Appeal campaigns on paid social and search
  • Landing pages built to convert
  • Donation tracking and reporting
  • Gift Aid prompts on every form

Regular-giving charities

Charities growing monthly donors, sponsorships and long-term supporters.

  • Regular-giving campaigns
  • SEO for cause and service searches
  • Email journeys for new supporters
  • Google Ad Grants where eligible

We speak your donor's language

Donors want to know their money gets there. Trustees want to know the marketing was worth it.

So your registration, impact and transparency are front and centre, and every campaign reports what it raised. We follow the Code of Fundraising Practice and make Gift Aid easy to claim.
